VIVACE™ MICRONEEDLING RF
Vivace™ microneedling RF combines the benefits of microneedling, radio frequency (RF), and Red/Blue LED in one treatment to maximize collagen production. It can be customized to address various skin conditions on the face, neck, and body for all skin types. The microneedling part helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, appearance of pore sizes, scarring, and stretch marks. When microneedling is further combined with radio frequency, it can effectively improve skin texture and tone while having a tightening effect as well.
FAQ
How does it work?
The combination of stimulation from the microneedles, thermal energy delivered from the radio frequency, and activation of skin cells from red or blue LED light work in combination to simulate new collagen production, remodel elastin, and tighten the skin. Individual result varies, but people see improvement in their skin over the next few weeks and up to 6 months as the skin continues the collagen and elastin productions.
Does it hurt?
Topical numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure and most patients notice feeling of more like a light pressure to the face. Although needles are involved, they are very small, and the patients generally notice minimal discomfort. One of the quality where Vivace stands out compared to other similar treatments is the reduced pain with treatment because of the motor technology they use.
How many treatments would I need?
Although some patients may notice immediate improvement in skin texture and tone within a few days, for optimal results, 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart would provide the best results. Afterwards, repeating the procedure once or twice a year may be enough to maintain the healthy skin changes.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is quite minimal with Vivace and you may have slight redness that can last a few hours. By the next day, most people will have little or no indication that they had treatment done.
How Much does it cost?
A single treatment session starts at $600 with increased cost for combination of areas (such as face + neck) or with additional components such as PRF or skin boosters. Common treatment costs are as following:
$600 for single face treatment ($1500 for 3 sessions)
$750 for single face treatment when combined with PRF or Skin boosters ($1800 for 3 sessions)
